The compatibility that exists in the Intel family of 16/32 bit processors makes it possible to cover in the space of this pocketbook the 8088, 8086, 80186, 80286, 80386 and 80486 types. The aim is to deal as fully as possible with the hardware operation, architecture and uses. This book, exists as a portable guide to these chips rather than as an encyclopaedia and the reader is referred to the Intel handbooks for details that might be needed by anyone designing new equipment using these chips. This is particularly important with reference to new chips for which the information in this book is taken from provisional data sheets. Because of the upwards compatibility of the chips, descriptions of registers, buses and other features will be given in detail for the 8088/8086 types and not repeated for others, so that for the more complex chips the only details that will be examined will be for the features unique to these chips.
